Head to Kokusai Street and Senaga Island, Okinawa's Iconic Landmarks

The driving route includes some of Okinawa's most iconic spots, such as Naha's Kokusai Street and Senaga Island. Unlike exploring on foot or by bus, you'll experience Okinawa from behind the wheel, with the scenery streaming past as the wind rushes by.

A guide leads the way to the best spots, so even first-time visitors to Okinawa don't need to worry much about getting lost. Hearing stories about the surrounding area while you drive is one of the unique perks of joining a tour.

Costumes and Photos Taken by Your Guide

Participants can choose from a selection of costumes to wear during the tour. Wearing one is entirely optional, but it's a fun touch for anyone who wants to stand out while driving through town.

Throughout the tour, your guide will take plenty of photos of you, helping capture memories of the experience. Being able to focus on driving while still coming away with great photos is a key difference from driving on your own.

As a Klook-exclusive perk, a free mobile phone holder rental for use while driving is also included.

A Valid Driver's License Is Required

Since this activity takes place on public roads, participants must bring a valid driver's license. Japanese driver's licenses and SOFA driving permits (for members of the U.S. military in Japan) are accepted.

For those with an overseas license, the requirements vary. You'll need either an International Driving Permit issued under the 1949 Geneva Convention along with your passport, or, if your license was issued in Switzerland, Germany, France, Taiwan, Belgium, Estonia, or Monaco, an official Japanese translation of your license along with your passport.

In all cases, driving in Japan is permitted for one year from your date of entry, and International Driving Permits are valid for one year from their issue date. Incomplete documentation may prevent you from participating, so it's important to double-check everything before your trip.

Multilingual Support Makes It Easy for International Visitors

The tour is available in five languages—English, Chinese, Spanish, Hindi, and Japanese—making it accessible for travelers from around the world. Meeting takes place at the local office; there is no pickup service, so you'll need to make your own way there.

With a total duration of just 1–2 hours, this tour fits easily into a half-day or evening slot during your stay in Okinawa.
